Chandrayaan-3: Chandrayaan-3 fully ready to touch the border of the Moon, will try to reach the Moon's orbit today

Chandrayaan-3 moving fast towards the Moon is ready to reach its outskirts. Chandrayaan-3 has covered more than two-thirds of the distance between the Earth and the Moon and will try to enter the Moon's orbit on Saturday. Chandrayaan-3 was launched on 14 July from the Satish Dhawan Space Center in Sriharikota.

The Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) said on Friday that Chandrayaan-3 has covered almost two-thirds of the distance of the moon since its launch on July 14. In the last three weeks, this spacecraft of ISRO has been going into orbits further away from the Earth. The space agency said that on August 1, in a crucial procedure, the spacecraft was successfully sent from Earth's orbit to the Moon.

The agency's Bangalore-based headquarters said on Friday that after the trans-lunar injection, Chandrayaan-3 escaped from the Earth's orbit and started moving on a path that would take it to the vicinity of the Moon. Tomorrow, in another important process, the spacecraft will be placed in the Moon's orbit. That is, Chandrayaan-3 will reach the orbit from where the Moon's gravity starts. Scientists have full hope that the process of Chandrayaan-3 reaching the moon's orbit will be successful.

ISRO said that the Lunar Orbit Injection (LOI) is ready for August 5 at around 7 pm. This process will be completed when Chandrayaan-3 will be closest to the Moon.

37,200 kmph speed

Chandrayaan is currently moving toward the moon at a speed of about 37,200 kilometers per hour. After reaching the Moon's orbit, it will remain about 40 thousand kilometers away from its surface. The space agency has earlier told that the condition of India's third lunar mission is completely normal and its soft landing on the lunar surface will be attempted on August 23.
